Today, astronomers have made a remarkable discovery about a supermassive black hole located in the center of galaxy M87. Using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, they have identified a jet of particles that is shooting out from the black hole and triggering novae explosions in the surrounding area. These novae are powerful blasts of energy that are producing X-ray and radio emission. This is the first time that astronomers have seen a supermassive black hole ejecting material in this way, and it could provide insight into the relationship between black holes and their environment.

A recent study has found that hurricane-driven evolution has caused a dramatic shift in the composition of a particular species of insect. In the wake of the storm, species that thrive in the open space of the hurricane’s aftermath have rapidly taken over the insect population. This has resulted in a spatial-dominance bug evolution, an occurrence that is likely to continue for years to come. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of California Berkeley, focused on the Caribbean beetle species Geotrupes portentosus.
